We motherf**king pioneers |
[03:14.77] |
All of that shit started out right here |
[03:17.18] |
|
[03:18.18] |
We didn't make it up but we made it famous |
[03:20.49] |
Then we spread it worldwide |
[03:21.85] |
Go ahead and blame us |
[03:23.45] |
Growing up gang culture taught us loyalty |
[03:25.43] |
And that everyone is equal no royalty |
[03:28.16] |
|
[03:28.67] |
So there's never been a king of the west coast |
[03:31.22] |
We got some OG's and we respect those |
[03:34.22] |
But anyone can get it if there's beef |
[03:36.34] |
And nobody's undefeated in the streets |
[03:39.20] |
I grew up on palm trees and gangsta rap |
[03:41.72] |
So pardon me but I'm thankful for that |
[03:43.61] |
You know |
[03:44.35] |
Yeah and I want to take a minute |
[03:47.18] |
